Task: Make a 3D model of a River
System (week 2)
Below you will see some models children have made to show a river
basin, from the source up in the mountains to the estuary where it
meets the sea. You can use any materials you may have at home (recycled packaging is great for this) as well as paints,
pens, wrapping paper, old magazines etc. An old cardboard box could be your starting point.
You need to include as many examples of river features that you
can e.g. upper course, waterfall, meander. Label the areas on your
model and include as much information as you can.
There will be 3 weeks to complete this project and I would love to see your photographs to share on the
website!
Art / Design & Technology PSHE PE
Artist study: Frida Kahlo (3).
Frida was very fond of painting portraits of herself, especially after her terrible bus accident
which left her stuck in bed for 3 months.
Her self-portraits showed how she was feeling at the time and you must look carefully to see
the messages she tells us in her art.
Look at the self-portrait with the necklace of thorns and answer
the questions below. What is Frida trying to tell us by
painting this picture?

What do you do when you feel
angry?
Being away from family and friends and missing what we usually do can make us upset
and sometimes angry.
When we are angry we sometimes do things we regret
later and it can make us feel worse.

some children do.

Reading Comprehension
Read the passage below and answer the questions that follow.
A Fire Ate the City Read the acrostic poem and answer the questions on page 10.
Thomas Farrinerthought the fire was out,
He didn’t hear the crackling sound.
Every house on Pudding Lane
Got closer and closer to the flames,
Red and orange, hot and bright,
Eating up every house in sight!
All along the street they went,
Those hungry flames were not content.
First thing in the morning as the sun awoke,
It showed a sky that filled with smoke;
Reports came in of three hundred homes,
Every one burned to the bone.
Over the city, the King was told
“Flames are filling London; behold!”
“Lord Mayor!” cried the King, his senses ignited,
“Organise the best way to fight it!”
Never had he seen a fire that size;
Dazed and amazed, he sat rubbing his eyes.
Over the city the fire now spread,
“Nothing will stop it!” the poor people said.
All of London might become part of its feast!
The fire was fanned by a wind from the east.
Elsewhere the King’s response had failed,
Up the River Thames he sailed.
Powerlessness was not something he knew;
The fire still raged; the wind still blew.
He stood on the deck with the Duke of York,
Each of them too stunned to talk.
Close to a hundred houses an hour
Ignited when faced with the flames’ great power.
The fire had eaten everything in its way,
Yet more was to come on the following day.
The next day the Duke of York would fight,
He started in the morning, and went into the night.
Every man, woman and child,
Forced to fight a fire so wild,
Inside the city walls,
Round alleyways and market stalls.
Evening brought no end to their trials;
Long clouds of smoke travelled fifty miles!
Explosions filled the city over following days;
Fireballs, man-made, to clear the way!
The idea was to stop the fire from carving
On through the city, by leaving it starving.
“No buildings stay up in this area! That’s the rule!
Let’s see if the fire can last with no fuel!”
Young and old watched as the fires died down,
Ruins the only things left on hot ground,
Ugly, glowing embers
In the first days of September.
Nearly all of the city was gone in four days,
Swallowed and scoffed by the pitiless blaze.
Any idea of the size of the cost,
Now that 13,200 houses were lost?
Did you know 87 churches became rubble and stone,
And 80,000 people were left with no home?
So let’s all learn a lesson while we feel a bit shocked:
Hungry are fires, and hard to be stopped.
Questions:
1. How many people were left homeless by the fire?
2. What event is this poem about?
3. What do the lines of this acrostic poem spell out?
4. What does the word ‘behold’ mean? Use a dictionary to find out.
5. ‘Every house on Pudding Lane / Got closer and closer to the flames’.
What is happening in these lines?
6. How far away could the smoke from the fire be seen?
7. In your own words, explain what the people of London are trying to
achieve by setting off the explosions.
8. Do you like the fact that this is an acrostic poem, or would you prefer
a different poetry form? Why?
